The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Mapping Project : ADS Selena Galaxy (NGC 1365)

A few of you may know that I have created a galaxy map of my gameworld on a large sheet of newsprint.

I have recently acquired a few applications for me to digitize this map. Luckily these applications will also allow me to complete several projects at once so I've been spending some time to work on the project.

I'm not going to actually map out the whole galaxy, just the string that contains the main systems. Its being mapped out in AstroSynthesis which is allowing me to skip the complex calculations I'd otherwise have to do myself (which was a killer with this project from the start, years ago). The planet terrains are being generated via Fractal World Explorer (included with AS), but the main planets are being generated using Fractal Terrains in which are being saved as CC2 maps to be fleshed out for player use.

These apps allow me almost full control over the outcomes and the sheer amount of data I wanted to have where I can spend time on creating, not fighting with math.

Anyway. On to the core of the project...

Here is a simple view from AstroSynthesis... I'll periodically update this picture.

Despite it being my game universe, I still like keeping a resemblence to reality and within the specifications of being "real". So... As a result I'm open to suggestions, comments, critisizms, whatever. Yes, I know there are no moons placed yet.
